Create 100 Folders in Seconds Using CMD

If you're working on a project and need to create multiple folders quickly, typing each folder name manually can be a headache. Luckily, Windows Command Prompt (CMD) can make it super easy!

Ever wondered how to create multiple folders like Project1 to Project100 without doing it one by one? Whether you're organizing coding projects or planning your tasks, this quick and easy CMD trick can save you hours!

In this guide, I’ll show you how to:

Change the default drive (e.g., from C: to D: or E:).
Create 100 folders (named 1 to 100) in one go.

✅ Step 1: Open Command Prompt

Press Windows + R
Type cmd and hit Enter
This will open the Command Prompt window.

✅ Step 2: Select the location

Copy the location where you want to make a folder or files like this 👇

✅ Step 3: Paste the location in CMD

cd /d "D:\My Code Project\Javascript Practice\to do list"

Replace this location with your location 👆

Paste the location in cmd
Press enter

✅ Step 4: Create Folders from 1 to 100 Using a Loop

Now you are in the folder where you want to create the file

Paste the following command: 👇👇

for /l %i in (1,1,100) do mkdir Project%i

🧾 What this means:

for /l: Starts a loop
%i in (1,1,100): Starts from 1, increases by 1, until 100
mkdir Project%i: Creates folder named Project1, Project2, Project3 … up to Project100

💡 After running the command, you’ll see 100 folders appear — all numbered!

📌 Bonus Tip: Delete All 100 Folders (if needed)

To delete all folders from 1 to 100, you can use:

Use this command to delete the folder 👇

for /l %i in (1,1,100) do rmdir /s /q Project%i

😎What it does:

for /l %i in (1,1,100): loops from 1 to 100
rmdir: removes a directory
/s: deletes all contents inside the folder (subfolders/files)
/q: quiet mode (no confirmation prompts)

⚠️ Make sure you run this inside the correct parent directory where all these folders exist.

💡 Use Cases

Organizing assignments or tests (Folder 1 to 100)
Creating chapter folders for books or notes
Making structure for photo or video projects

📥 Conclusion

Creating multiple folders using CMD is a simple trick that saves time. Whether you're organizing content or preparing for a big project, this method works smoothly without installing any extra software.
